Campbell's Mmm, Mmm Good

"By monster I mean some horrendous presence or apparition that explodes all your standards for harmony, order and ethical conduct... That's God in the role of destroyer. Such experiences go past ethical judgments. This is wiped out... God is horrific."

-Joseph Campbell




"Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures."


-Bruce Campbell


"There's been a load of compromisin', on the road to my horizon, but I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me."

-Glen Campbell

Happy Holidays....

Insane in the Membrane

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

-Benjamin Franklin

Actually Benny, the definition of insanity is: 1 : a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia) 2 : such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility 3 a : extreme folly or unreasonableness b : something utterly foolish or unreasonable

And, to be quite frank dear Travelers, our dear Mr. Franklin couldn't have been more wrong had he a degree in psychology ala S. Freud. In fact to do a thing over and over and (in most cases) expecting different results (as a means to motivate repetition) is quite possibly the single sanest thing a person ever did in the history of humanity. Why? Well readers, for one, because it is the very first thing (I imagine) a person ever did, and its the very last of our most basic remaining human instincts to have survived evolution. And on that note, we wouldn't be so inclined to repeat our actions, so fervent and frequent, were we not able to convince ourselves that this time, THIS TIME things were going to turn out different... better. It seems to be the one sound argument that Orderists have against Chaosists. I guess Ole Ben didn't know as much as he liked to think.* But not many of us do know much about insanity. If sanity, at its simplest is repetition, then I suppose insanity is to be fitful... from Webster: convulsive, sudden, violent; broken, disconnected, fragmentary, interrupted; desultory, haphazard, hit-or-miss, random; changing, fluctuating, unstable, varying, wavering; changeable, fickle, variable.

Crude World

Zolar says the thought is reality, and corporeal form is the illusion. Some believe that the structure of a created thing born from an idea is the height of man's glory and achievement. Zolar says the thing will rot and decay, but conception is eternal. Besides, the thing never exists quite like you imagined it.

Can't seem to build it, and can't destroy it either.

(Maybe the next level is easier, but I doubt that, eh? As below, so above.)

In other news, I'm so glad you decided to join us, Sparkles. So, so glad.

Levity and Brevity

Some things change, and some things never change. I finally get that it won't ever be alright, and that it's alright.

This Year's Top 10 Ladies' Slutty Versions of Other Stuff Halloween Costumes

Are you a lady? And are you YEAR ROUND confined by the chains of conservative clothing? Well fret not, because Halloween is just around the corner, and we all know there is only ONE kind of Halloween costume for the ladies to choose from. I mean there's variety, don't get me wrong. You can be a police officer, or a princess, Marie Antoinette, a school girl, or a barbarian. Anything you can think of really, as long as it's warm wherever you're planning on wearing it.

SLUTS! ALL OF YOU!

-Steps down from soap box-

I got the Little Red* Riding hood costume. It's my first store-bought costume, and I'm considering it a sociological experiment of sorts. More on that in later posts.

So today, dear Travelers, I'd like to present to you my Top 10 Slutbot costumes of the year....

#10 The classic nun look...

It's simple. It's counter-intuitive. It's slutty. These are the criteria for a good Slutbot costume.

#9 The obligatory pirate get-up...

Because ever since Johnny Depp ruined his good name with P.O.T.C. we can't get through a Halloween without it.

#8 Sexy B-Baller...

Shot Caller. I hope she's not planning on ballin' in those shoes.

#7 Sexy Tin Man...

I like it 'cause it's shiny.

#6 I'm not honestly sure what this is...

Which is why it had to make the list.

#5 The award for creativity goes to Sexy Pac Man/Woman...

For good use of boobs.

#4 Who ya gonna call....

Sexy Ghostbusters. Duh.

#3 Um. Sex-Eve.

Um. I.. uhh...

#2 Sexy Freddie Kruger...

Cause nothing says sexy like a claw wielding, burned-up child molester.

#1 And the number one spot goes to.... *drum roll*

Super Woman**!


Now I know this is supposed to be a top 10, but I had to include a couple or honorable mentions.

First, I'd like to present Princess Leia in the slave girl get-up with the Totally Valid Award...

Because it happens to be one of few sexy costumes that is true to its original sexiness and not an exaggerated version of it. Plus... I mean come on... Princess Leia is iconic.

Second, I'd like to let this year's Miss Congeniality speak for herself. The website called her Pretty Pegasus.....
